Newton's second law explains how acceleration is affected by net force and mass, with acceleration being directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. The formula fnet = m * a represents the relationship between net force, mass, and acceleration.
Insights
- The acceleration of an object is determined by the net force acting on it and the object's mass, as described by Newton's second law of motion.
- The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is mathematically represented by the equation fnet = m * a, highlighting the direct proportionality between force and acceleration, as well as the inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

Newton's Law: Force, Mass, Acceleration Relationship
- Newton's second law of motion explains that the acceleration of an object is influenced by the net force acting on it and the object's mass. When an unbalanced force is applied to an object, it accelerates, with acceleration being directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the object's mass.
- The greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, while a lighter object accelerates faster than a heavier one when the same force is applied. This relationship is expressed as fnet = m * a, where the net force equals the product of mass and acceleration.
